[[Army..Country... Happy BDay]]
Just saw the part of the parade segment of the NDP on TV... it felt nostalgic watching the contingents march past... Was at cold storage earlier... I saw a recruit with his gf doing some last min grocery shopping... I don't know why.. I miss the army...
It's sad.. I don't know why people have so little regard for our country... worst still, mockery for our army... ignorant fuckers... Right now as we are celebrating peace and prosperity, people are fighting and dying in the middle east... Somehow I wish that Singapore will go to war.. then every other blind/deaf Singaporean will wake up.. Everything is taken for granted... one day... you will all live to regret it... Back then when the 3 Tekong robbers beached on Tekong.. everyone I know laughed about the matter... Fuck... I wished a soldier was killed in action back then, so that everyone will wake up... Now that I'm in NTU, I can see why people turn blind, or choose to turn a blind eye these days.. it's just too fast paced.. Nevertheless, it's a baseless excuse..
I'm not crazy... We are just too self centred... I hope singaporeans will wake up and appreciate what the have... And fucking respect soldiers..
Went out for supper with Alex n Jinjin last night... Alex said he definitely wants to be a Guards Spec... not an officer... Due to some fucked up officers in his company who brought a bad name to commissioned commanders... I guess I also affected his decision in one way or another.. I was a specialist myself, and a combat Intelligence Specialist at that... I had always spoken with pride the Specialist had in themselves.. For those who argue that Specs are 2nd rated commanders inferior to officers, I say balls to you... Come with me outfield, and I'll show you what it takes to be a first class commander... I may not be one, but I take pride in what do..that's good enough.. All 3 of us.. Jinjin, alex and us.. love the military in our own special way...
Jinjin was born military-crazed, I saw the need and purpose in our army, Alex probably love the brotherhood and commaradie..
Jinjin has signed on... Alex is pending his confirmation... I'm happy for Alex... in the past, he used to be playful and stuff... the army will toughen him up...
What the hell... back to school soon..
